How is that even possible?

I joined a gym for a while so that I could actually go to the gym and just work out without having to actually work. Every time I tried to go to my studio and work out I would always end up showing someone how to work a piece of equipment or showing someone how to fill out paperwork. It always happened. This gym that I joined was, of course, one of those big open spaces with a ton of equipment and lots of meat heads. I can't even begin to tell you the bad form I saw with EVERY single man/boy in that gym. Yet, somehow, they all had bulging arms, giant leg muscles and from all the many times I saw them lift their shirt and check themselves out in the mirror and take pics (for what? to look at later?) they had pretty defined stomachs as well. How does this happen? Why do people get rewarded for doing things incorrectly? Here I am doing my job telling people how to do it the right way and most struggle just to maintain before we find the balance that works. But these guys get instant results for doing it all wrong. Makes me sick.

Transition, typing out loud.

So I am in the middle of a transition of cities for a new job. I'm coming from Oklahoma City to Wichita. It has been a pretty fast transition and I often stop to wonder if I'm doing the right thing. I think it is natural to think something like this and to have doubts. I always say that if I just affected one person in my career I would be a happy man. I'm getting a little hungrier now. I have had some good times in OKC with my career and am realizing just how many people I have changed. But, I really feel like it is time for me to move on and expand my reach. There are so many people out there who just need a little push in the right direction to start a healthy lifestyle, or just find the activity they love, and ultimately save their life (or even give them more years of healthy living).

I want to be that push.

I have all of this pent up energy and want inside that I don't know how else to let it out but with my job. Teaching is the ultimate high for me. Whether it is one on one with a client or in a classroom with 20 people. I have had such a privilege here in this city to meet so many good people and to have their trust to take them on as a client. I feel like I have left them all in a good place to continue their journey into health and wellness. I hope they all feel the exact same way I do. I hope I really have accomplished all that I feel I have accomplished.

It is the beginning of a new chapter. It's time for me to go make another city sexy as hell. Bring it on Wichita. Let's do this.
